Thanks. I will pass along the information. While disappointed, my DS was also relieved to finally hear something definitive. After much loss these past few years, he tends to keep things in perspective. So, no pity party here. Plan B has been in place for several weeks, which I think really...

A second letter was posted to my DS's portal today stating: The admissions office has received all your information and the Admissions Committee has reviewed your application. You have been found academically and physically qualified, but unfortunately due to limited class size, I regret to...

It does. Thank you. Do you mind sharing your DS's disqualifying It does. Thank you.

May I ask how long it took for your DS's DoDMERB status change to "Waiver Requested" from "Pending Waiver Review" after being academically and physically qualified by the Admissions Committee? I hope you find an answer to your question, but most of all that your DS gets his waiver. Best wishes!

It's unfortunate that it is still on DoDMERB's website. :( I discussed your DS's experience from last year with mine. Needless to say, he is concerned and confused. After seeing the form he sent to me, I understand. Tomorrow, I will tell him that the form is out-of-date. Thanks, again.

Just a short while ago, my DS forwarded the Applicant Reference Document prepared by DoDMERB to me, which states: 5. Service Academies = If you are determined to be “competitive for an offer of appointment” (determined by the Offices of Admissions), medical waiver consideration will be...

Thank you. Did your DS first receive a letter from his RC similar to my DS, or simply the letter regarding his waiver? Our experience with USAFA has been similar to yours with USNA. Although, we do expect to hear something one way or the other any day. Good luck!

In further support of your above stated belief, I just discovered on the 2020 Appointment thread that another Candidate received and accepted the congressional appointment for our district on 1/29. It so happens this is the exact date that my DS received his senatorial nomination. Because our...

My DS is planning to make that call first thing Monday morning. BTW, this is not his giving up on an SA appointment. It is simply "a bird in the hand" scenario. Freshmen are required to live on campus at the university he chose, and housing is filling up quickly. In order to secure the...

My DS is in the same position with multiple offers. None of the colleges that awarded scholarships penalize in anyway, if he accepts a scholarship and passes for a SA appointment. He has chosen his Plan B college, which is a full academic + $2500 School of Engineering scholarship. I am paying...

How wonderful for your DS! Mine is certainly a young man of tremendous faith. He has said throughout this process, "I will keep walking through the doors that God opens." Today, we are paying his admission and housing fees for Plan B- full academic scholarship and an additional $2500...

Wonderful information. The odds may be stacked against my DS in this scenario, but I am one proud momma. I hope these remaining young men and women are proud of themselves as well. Wow.

I appreciate your sharing this information. It is certainly encouraging that his file is still open. Our district is the most competitive in the state, so it makes sense what you're saying about wanting to keep my DS on the "possible list". Even though he received a congressional and...

Thank you. My son received 2 nominations to WP and 1 to USAFA. The physical was initiated by USAFA, and his DoDMERB status is the same for both SAs. He has not heard anything from USAFA regarding a waiver, either. Best of luck!

Thanks so much. I will tell him to keep an eye out for it.

I will. Thank you for your response. How/when did you learn that your son was not a strong enough candidate to initiate a waiver review? Best wishes!

My son was medically DQd, before his application was completed. (Administrative AMI) His status on DoDMERB still shows "Pending Waiver Submission/Review", while his application portal simply says "Your status: Candidate. Your Application is: Complete, but Medically Disqualified". How do you...

A couple of weeks after being DQd in early January and upon review of the administrative AMI previously requested by DoDMERB, my son received a letter from USMA stating, "the Admissions Committee has qualified your file academically and in physical aptitude," "Your medical status is...
